DE SOTD, Thursday November 3rd 2022
Razor : Yaqi Telstar Zamak head with a modified Micromatic handle - Mfg 2022>, mid to upper mid range, really good finish with accurate blade feel on both sides. I find a steep angle approach(riding the bar) + short handle works with this razor very well. I can receive some stellar shaves with it.
Blade : Gillette 7oClock SP (5) sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity. Top 5 tier blades for myself.
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla with tobacco scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Goblin" 24mm Husky knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Yaqi Telstar with a Gillette 7oClock SP.
This razor is not as smooth as my Razorock Lupo.72 but with good technique it will give a decent shave IMO with good audio feedback.
Have some great shaves!
